FAQs
Is Dayton sunny enough for solar power to make financial sense?
Absolutely. Montgomery County averages about 4.2–4.5 peak sun-hours per day across the year. Our advanced panel technologies capture a broader spectrum of light, so even on cloudy Ohio days your array continues generating. A typical 7 kW residential system in Dayton will produce roughly 8,500–9,200 kWh annually—more than 90 % of the average household’s electricity demand.
What innovative solar technologies do you offer for homes and businesses?
We install high-efficiency monocrystalline modules (up to 22 % efficiency), all-black aesthetic panels, integrated micro-inverter or DC optimizer architectures for panel-level monitoring, smart battery storage (lithium-iron-phosphate chemistry), and EV-ready solar carport solutions. Every system is designed with rapid-shutdown safety devices and future-proofed for easy expansion.
How does the solar installation process work and how long will it take?
1. Free site audit & shade analysis (1–2 hours). 2. Custom system design & proposal with ROI modeling (2–3 days). 3. Permitting, utility interconnection, and incentive paperwork (2–4 weeks depending on jurisdiction). 4. On-site installation: most residential rooftops are completed in 1–2 days; commercial projects vary by size. 5. Final inspection & utility meter swap (1 week typical). From contract signature to energization, most homeowners in Dayton are producing solar power within 6–8 weeks.
What incentives, rebates, or tax credits are available for solar in Dayton, Ohio?
Home and business owners can claim the 30 % Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) on the total installed cost. Ohio’s net-metering rules credit you at the full retail rate for excess electricity fed back to the grid. Dayton Power & Light offers expedited interconnection with no application fee for systems under 25 kW. Qualifying low-to-moderate income households may stack ECO-Link low-interest financing through the Ohio Treasurer’s office.
How much will I save on my electric bill and what is the typical payback period?
Savings depend on your roof size, consumption, and current DP&L rate (about $0.13 / kWh). A standard 7 kW system produces ~9,000 kWh per year, offsetting approximately $1,170 annually. With the 30 % tax credit, installed cost averages $15,000–$16,000, yielding a simple payback of 10–12 years and an internal rate of return of 8–11 %. Systems carry 25-year performance warranties, so you’ll enjoy 13–15 years of free power after payback.
Do you provide monitoring, maintenance, and warranties?
Yes. Each installation includes lifetime online monitoring accessible by mobile app so you can track production in real time. Panels include 25-year power and 12-year product warranties; inverters carry 25-year (micro-inverter) or 12-year (string) warranties, upgradeable to 25. Our workmanship warranty covers roof penetrations and electrical labor for 10 years. We also offer affordable maintenance plans that include annual performance checks, cleaning, and vegetation management for ground-mount arrays.
